CAS Number: 61361-33-1
Usage: Laboratory chemical, synthetic intermediate
Manufacturer: Chemical supply distributors commonly handle shipments at industrial scale and might request additional documents for transport and handling.
Emergency Contact: Local poison control centers and chemical safety teams respond in the event of exposure, fire, or large-scale spills.
Signal Word: Danger
Hazard Categories: Acute oral toxicity, skin irritation, serious eye irritation, respiratory irritant, suspected mutagenicity
GHS Labels: Corrosive, irritant, environmental hazard
Primary Hazards: Can irritate skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, harmful if swallowed or inhaled, environmental persistence, potential organ toxicity from repeated exposure
Precautionary Statements: Avoid inhalation or skin contact, do not ingest, keep containers tightly closed, wear proper protective equipment, prevent release to environment
Long-Term Risks: Repeated exposure carries the risk of chronic systemic toxicity or carcinogenicity, particularly for those working in confined or poorly ventilated areas
Chemical Name: Nitroiodophenol Nitrile
Concentration: 98%–100% pure
Other Impurities: Trace organic solvents (potential carrier), residual iodine or nitrating agents
Synonyms: 4-Nitro-2-iodophenol-6-carbonitrile, nitro-iodophenol-nitrile
Impurity Risk: Certain synthesis pathways introduce contamination from unreacted starting products or process solvents, possibly increasing overall hazard and affecting waste processing
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, keep calm and warm, seek medical attention if symptoms develop such as shortness of breath or cough
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with plenty of running water for at least fifteen minutes, consult a doctor if irritation occurs or persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to manage, look for medical help regardless of symptom severity
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water without inducing vomiting, never provide anything by mouth to an unconscious individual; emergency services should be called at once
Delayed Effects: Medical supervision becomes necessary since symptoms such as labored breathing or persistent rashes can develop over time due to systemic toxicity
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide, avoid large volumes of water which may spread contamination
Fire Hazards: Gives off toxic fumes such as nitrogen oxides, iodine vapor, hydrogen cyanide under combustion
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing
Firefighting Procedures: Isolate area, prevent runoff from entering drains or waterways, attack fire from upwind to avoid inhalation
Decomposition Risks: Intense heat increases risk of container rupture and rapid release of hazardous gases
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area for large spills, ventilate space, put on gloves, goggles, and approved respirator
Spill Cleanup: Sweep up using non-sparking tools, place in clearly labeled containers for disposal, minimize dust generation
Environmental Protection: Stop product from entering sewers or watercourses, alert authorities to significant spills or environmental releases
Decontamination: Clean area with water and mild detergent after removal, dispose of contaminated materials according to regulatory requirements
Waste Handling: Store spill residue as chemical waste, avoid unprotected contact with surfaces and limit re-entry until decontamination finishes
Handling Instructions: Work in well-ventilated areas, use local exhaust if available, avoid direct contact, handle with suitable personal protective equipment at all times
Storage Conditions: Keep in sealed, chemically-resistant containers, store in cool, dry areas, shield from direct sunlight and incompatible materials such as oxidizers
Incompatibilities: Strong bases, strong oxidizing or reducing agents, avoid storage near flammable or combustible substances
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling, prohibit eating, drinking, and smoking around processing and storage sites
Separation from Incompatibles: Separate from acids, bases, and other reactive agents to reduce the risk of heat progression or violent reaction
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, sealed process enclosures, chemical-resistant work surfaces; regular air quality monitoring for toxic gases like NOx
Personal Protection: Chemical splash goggles, nitrile or neoprene gloves, long-sleeved lab coats, approved respirator where dust or vapor may arise
Workplace Exposure Limits: No established specific limits, but handle under the most restrictive toxicological parameters for similar organic nitriles or iodine compounds
Personal Hygiene: Remove contaminated clothing after use, launder before reuse, refrain from touching face or skin with soiled gloves
Environmental Controls: Institute secondary containment in storage areas, train staff for spill scenarios, use closed processes for large-scale handling
Appearance: Pale yellow to light brown crystalline solid
Odor: Mild, chemical, somewhat pungent
Melting Point: Ranges from 198–202°C, sensitivity to air moisture increases caking over time
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, more soluble in alcohols and common organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature
Relative Density: Around 2.0 g/cm3
Flash Point: >150°C
pH: Neutral to slightly acidic in aqueous suspensions
Other Properties: Stable under recommended storage, strong ultraviolet absorption
Chemical Stability: Keeps stable under ordinary conditions, deteriorates slowly on long-term exposure to light or moisture
Reactivity: Reacts vigorously with strong alkalis or reducing agents, liberates hazardous gases on decomposition
Hazardous Reactions: Risk of violent exothermic reactions in presence of oxidizers, cyanide release possible during uncontrolled heating
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, iodine vapor, trace cyanide, carbon monoxide
Incompatible Materials: Strong reducing agents, bases, finely divided metals
Polymerization: No known risk of hazardous polymerization
Acute Effects: Harshly irritates mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, can cause stomach pain and vomiting if ingested
Chronic Effects: Extended exposure risks developing thyroid, liver, or kidney issues, possible mutagenic effects based on structural analogs
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, eye contact
Symptoms: Burning sensations, coughing, skin redness, tearing, temporary vision disturbance, gastrointestinal upset
Confirmed Data: Animal models show LD50 (oral, rat) below 500 mg/kg, with central nervous system and organ toxicities after repeated dosing
Carcinogenicity: Not officially classified by IARC or NTP, but molecular structure suggests caution due to nitro and iodinated phenol components
Ecotoxicity: Highly toxic to aquatic life, potent bioaccumulation in water and sediments, disrupts aquatic microorganisms
Mobility: Low mobility in soil, moderate persistence due to partial decomposition by sunlight over months
Degradability: Poorly biodegradable, resists breakdown under anaerobic conditions, may linger in waste streams
Bioaccumulation: Evidence for uptake in aquatic organisms and food chain amplification, documented by laboratory water simulation tests
Aquatic Release: Even trace releases threaten local biota, local plants and wildlife may show symptoms of stress or mutation
Waste Treatment Methods: Incinerate in licensed chemical waste facility where technically feasible, avoid landfill disposal
Container Disposal: Triple-rinse empty containers, puncture to prevent reuse, label clearly for controlled incineration
Regulation: Waste shipments must comply with hazardous waste consignment tracking and local chemical disposal regulations
Contaminated Materials: Handle contaminated gloves, wipes, and spill residues as hazardous waste, separate streams based on level of contamination
Recycling or Recovery: No established recovery method, avoid mixing with unrelated chemical waste streams
